Q1:

Two cars pass each other in opposite direction. How long would they take to be 500 km apart?
I.  The sum of their speeds is 135 km/hr.
 II.  The difference of their speed is 25 km/hr.

A I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer

B II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer

C Either I or II alone sufficient to answer

D Both I and II are not sufficient to answer

E Both I and II are necessary to answer

ANS:A - I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer

I gives, relative speed = 135 km/hr.

 Time taken = 500 hrs.
135
II does not give the relative speed.  I alone gives the answer and II is irrelevant.  Correct answer is (A).
